Strain the meat from the marinade and keep the liquid aside.

Pour in the reserved marinade, using a wooden spoon to scrape up the bottom of the pan.

Once the alcohol has evaporated, pour in dark beef stock, and add the aromatic herbs.

Step 7

Cook without boiling until the liquid reduces and the meat is well cooked. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Add cream and blueberries. Cool it down quickly by placing the blender bowl on top of a bowl filled with ice.
Stir constantly to speed up the cooling process.

Weigh the obtained pâté and add half its weight to the melted butter.

Let it cool.

Note: A bain-marie can be created by placing a bowl with the pâté mixture on top of a bowl filled with ice.

Some “Osom” tips for you!

The melted butter added at the end will give it a lot of creaminess and helps to preserve the pâté for longer.

Tie up the herbs before putting them in the pan so you can remove them later

Keep the pâté in a container with an airtight lid to increase its durability.
